a yellow car is driving down a purple street at night Alt: Speed's car slides to a stop and he leaps out, victorious, against a backdrop of pyrotechnics, motion-blurred lights, and fireworks

I'm exhausted today and I'm blaming it on Speed Racer. Seeing that in glorious 4K IMAX yesterday consumed a week's worth of adrenaline. And it was awesome.

I don’t know how to hold all these feelings at once. The fear, the dread, the love, the pride. Thank you, NASA and thank you Artemis II for showing us the faces of our mothers. @scbwirockymtn.bsky.social #artemisfanart #christinakoch #darksideofthemoon #picturebookillustrator

Sitting in the grocery store parking lot trying to pull myself together because trying to be more offline means I missed out on the entire Artemis moon day and I'm kind of gutted. I'm seeing all the beautiful clips now and watching live would have been incredible.

Absolutely incredible Nutella ad.

a digital illustration in the style of a relief print depicting a black cat in a defensive pose holding a torn and tattered transgender pride flag in its mouth as it looks directly towards the viewer. the background is purple with some specks of blue and pink showing through, and behind the cat is a black midground resembling grass or flames. the top right corner features a box with a caption reading "T.D.O.V."

The Most Important Movie Of The 21st Century YouTube video by Patrick (H) Willems

LRT: I am not generally a Video Essay Person but this is a good damn video essay about a good damn movie m.youtube.com/watch?v=vwh9...

My personality for the next month and a half is going to be "Speed Racer is good actually" and it's going to feel amazing. I saw this movie...3 times in theaters I think? And I will be there at least once more during this run.

What in the chicken-fried fuck is an "AI-style" script

My dear friend and co-conspirator Piper J Drake (Lalana) is fighting Stage IV Cancer. She's in need of a VERY expensive treatment to give her a bit more time on this Earth. Please help make this happen! Donate, Share, Boost pls 💖

and a lot of writers of genre fiction also like to say "I'm not trying to say anything, I'm just writing for fun" and like that is TOTALLY FINE!

but.

if you're not thinking about what you're saying on purpose, you're just leaving your subconscious flying naked in the wind. BRAVE MOVE!

people are so quick to get on the internet and reveal that they can't find meaning in art unless Someone Very Serious is spoonfeeding it to them, and I'm sad for them.

if you can't watch a summer blockbuster & see what it says about who Hollywood thinks we are, well...

(that's a skill issue)

and one of the reasons I'm doing it is because NOTHING is as revealing as the sort of art we're not used to thinking about. like all these folks out here acting like romance is a trifling genre not worth thinking about...

jeez what relevance could contemporary views on sex & relationships have?

this is exactly how I view my job as a romance author and honestly most genre/pop culture more generally.

I love to make fun art! If folks wanna show up for the bisexual bootleggers or the monster fucking & never think about the time I spent laminating that dough, woohoo!

but. I'm doing it.

1. When the dog stretches out for belly rubs in her sleep
2. Having a cookie or two with my coffee
3. Mason bee faces peeping out of their lil tubes

an AI generated image of the Strait of Hormuz and mocking a diagram that originally showed trucks going across the land, but now I've put two stargates there instead

can this be a solution

I had to turn off an anti-trans block list because someone added my representative, and while they're not wrong, I still have to see what's going on there. And since you can't manually unblock individual users, the whole list is released back into the wild. Why @bsky.app why?

Spending my one wild and precious life mass-deleting emails from a neglected account because I wanted to stop paying Microsoft for a subscription that used to be a one-time product purchase

Stephen Miller hates this one weird trick

Editing my 2007-set book means questioning every mention of cell phone use. When did they first have alarms? Or flashlights? I can't remember what I was using in 2007. Probably my watch alarm, and an actual flashlight.

Came across this while exploring Duotrope for open submissions and backed it immediately. This sounds fun as heck ✨

This is Flambo. He's using his talking dog buttons to accuse his small foster brother of being a cat. Nothing can convince him otherwise. 13/10 for both (IG: flambothedog)

They're really just called "Trump accounts," huh? And people just...say that? With a straight face? Presumably these are the same five people who aren't calling it the Gulf of Mexico anymore?

Embroidery of the phrase "tyranny breaks" with a Rebel Alliance symbol and a fractured line splitting the word "breaks"
